After a successful run at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Swan Theatre, Oppenheimer, starring John Heffernan, will transfer to London’s West End. Tom Morton-Smith’s new play will run at the Vaudeville Theatre and begin previews on March 27. Opening night is scheduled for March 31.
The play tells the story of ‘the father of the atomic bomb’ J.Robert Oppenheimer, taking us into the heart of the Manhattan Project and revealing the personal cost of making history.
The production will feature design by Robert Innes Hopkins, with lighting by Paul Anderson, music by Grant Olding, sound by Christopher Shutt and choreography by Scott Ambler.
